Get your fresh local produce in Port Mac

Visit these locations before & after the Real Food Market

We all may dream of stocking our fridges and cupboards full of fresh and organic produce, however the reality is that it's usually expensive and difficult to find. In the recent years, supermarkets and shopping centres have transformed the way many of us shop, making it quick and easy to pick up your groceries. The problem however, is most of the produce we end up buying hugely lacks in quality and taste. If you are located in Port Macquarie, don't settle for second best; head down to the Real Food Market and pick up all your weekly produce from local independent businesses, straight from the farm. Staying local has never been so easy in Port Macquarie.
